Publisher Description: This book collects most of the papers presented in a symposium on curriculum research held in Zurich in December 1999. The contributions focus on curriculummaking between national and global codes, between politics and educational practice between top-down control and bottom-up agreement. They look at curriculummaking as an enterprise of educational practitioners and they try to link the political and technical aspects of curriculum-making. While curriculum-making traditionally tends to stress a specific, national selection of educational goals and contents, in cannot neglect the existence of school knowledge and forms of school organisation by the global market. Do lthe global (cultural) code and the need for adaptation to globalisation reinforce a trend towards the covergence of differnt national educational systems in general and their curriculum-making processes in particular?
